First up are the heroes Henry Cavill as Superman

Back from the dead, Kal-El will struggle keeping his identity as Clark Kent a secret while saving the world as Superman while catching up with his cousin Kara,

Kelly Rohrbach as Supergirl

Real name Kara Zor-El, Supergirl will make her official DCEU debut either currently dead and yet to be revived by Kal with samples of the Codex inside his dna through blood transfer if it is how Superman will resurrected or currently alive and somewhere on Earth and she will later on don her own suit and team up with Superman against the film's main antagonist.

and there is Ashley Greene as Siobhan Smythe the Prime Earth Silver Banshee

Ashley Greene for DCEU Siobhan Smythe aka Silver Banshee

While Italia Ricci is currently playing the Arrowverse version of the character and is yet to reprise her role in season 2, Ashley Greene will make a great choice as the DCEU's version who will act as the film's tritagonist by being Kara's caretaker and best friend who would also as the Silver Banshee help her and Clark take on the sequel's new big bad known as Brainiac.

Now for the villains to be featured in the Man of Steel sequel

Dave Bautista as Brainiac

As the film's main antagonist, Brainiac's plot in this movie would be slightly similar to Superman Unbound and with him as a living super computer with limitless resources in his posession, he would make the cut as the best big bad for the sequel to go with. Dave Bautista, who is known for playing Drax in the Guardians of the Galaxy films should be able to pull off the role of Brainiac for the sequel and if he can't be Brainiac due to schedule conflicts well there will be others like him that will get the part and make his plans on taking Metropolis into his collection as the villain

Michael Fassbender, Gerald Butler, Rick Cosnett or Logan Marshall Greene for Metallo

Michael Fassbender Gerald Butler Rick Cosnett or Logan Marshall Green for Metallo

After the events in Man of Steel, there would be plenty more civilians that have lost their legs and walking capability from the aftermath of Black Zero's gravity shockwaves and Superman's battle against General Zod so John Corban would be among those individuals and with Lex Luthor's remaining kryptonite and a body provided by Brainiac, Corban would have his mind transferred into the body and then take his vengeance on the man of steel and his long lost cousin as the menacing supervillain Metallo!

or if not Metallo then there is Bizarro

a villain that was reportedly rumored to appear in the Man of Steel sequel with Supergirl and Brainiac

and Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor

the psychotic billionare who was incarcerated for his crimes against the world for bombing the Capital and for creating Doomsday to kill Superman is right now locked up in Arkham Asylum but if he gets out of containment by bail or breakout, he will team up with Brainiac and turn John Corban into Metallo to kill Superman

and finally here are the supporting cast for the film to include Amy Adams as Lois Lane

Daily Planet reporter and Superman's sole love interest who is expected to marry him at the end of the movie

Dylan O'Brien as Thomas Smythe

Siobhan Smythe's brother and one of Supergirl's boyfriends and since Jimmy Olsen is dead, Tom will be Kara's love interest here in the DCEU.

Diane Lane as Martha Kent

Laurence Fishburne as Perry White

Rebecca Buller as Jenny

What about Jimmy Olsen?

Bautista?

SimplyAz - 8/11/2016, 8:36 AM

I would rather have Michael Fassbender as Braniac.

"Daily Planet reporter and Superman's sole love interest who is expected to marry him at the end of the movie

I'm of the opinion that WB needs to rebuild Superman's foundation in a much different way. So I think MOS 2 should be a human-focused, Metropolis-based film. And without going into too much detail, I think it should include (in addition to Clark, Lois, and Perry) characters like Cat Grant (different interpretation of course), Ron Troupe, Lex Luthor, Morgan Edge, Intergang, Parasite and/or Metallo, and maybe even John Henry Irons (hinting at Steel).

I think a Brainiac film would be interesting (depending on the story), but I think right now, Superman still needs some final development to establish him and his supporting cast in Metropolis (which also needs some character).

Prime - 8/12/2016, 6:58 AM

As much as would love to see Brainiac MOS 2 needs to be smaller and more personal.

KnifeWasTooSlow - 8/13/2016, 10:45 AM

@Prime - BINGO. That's why Metallo could work, it would be this very small scale battle.

teefurtree - 8/20/2016, 2:15 PM

@LeonardTheWise - Right. If Eisenberg's Lex were more palatable Lex as the villain would be good, but I don't think I could bear to watch this rendition of Lex for more than 15 minutes of a movie.

MOS2 certainly needs to stick to one villain, and not make that big villain the focus of the whole movie, while having other "villains" be generic criminals (bank robbers, etc). More of a feel for Superman's daily life in Metropolis, flying around the city patrolling, would be great.

Parasite

I would love to see Metallo in Man of Steel 2. Metallo is one of the few villains in Supermans rogue gallery that Superman is afraid of. If done correctly Metallo would be a great addition to the sequel.
